Re: Charges Against Reed Dropped

Lunk head. What a perfect word for Reed. I don't dislike him either and he's not much dumber than many men in their mid 20s. So we have our own idiot kicker. Let's hope he and Ben don't square off like Manning and Venitieri.

Vanderjagt was Peyton's drunken idiot kicker. Vinatieri was his replacement.

Reed is the most accurate kicker in Steelers history, converting 83.3 percent of his career attempts (189-of-227). He was 27-of-31 last season.

Reed, who was in position to become a free agent before being designated as the franchise player, is hopeful of signing a long-term contract.

Reed signed one day after a Pittsburgh judge dismissed disorderly conduct and public drunkenness charges against him. Reed was charged in October following a postgame incident with police outside of a bar near Heinz Field.

Judge Richard King dropped two charges in March and told Reed he would also dismiss the remaining two charges if Reed completed community service.

Re: Charges Against Reed Dropped

The charges against Reed were dropped when the paper towel dispenser declined to cooperate with the police investigation any further (although the towel dispenser hasn't yet ruled out the possibility of a civil suit). :P
